CarFax Request

NEVER trust the data the dealers provide, even when they're providing a CarFax report. Dealers have ways of getting the reports to hide nad information while looking like a complete report. Shortly after Katrina, flood damaged autos were being bought and ship to places like CO and most of the reports customers were seeing didn't say anything about the flood damage. Also, even the most honest reports rely on information that was reported/put into the system. Much of what happens to vehicles never gets reported.

What he said. We've been burned many a time taking a car in with nothing on CF and then a tech gets into the car and you find signs things have been replaced that shouldn't have. Carfax simply reports whats been reported.
